Oh, the Suspense!

Ah, Monday. What fun. Today is the first day of classes here and all the students are back. On one hand I'm excited, there's more energy in the air, I'm looking forward to seeing more students on a regular basis...on the other hand, I'm nervous, there are people everywhere (goodbye quiet, peaceful campus), and I'll be very busy soon...very busy. In and of itself, that's not a problem, but after the slow summer, it's gonna be a change.

Anywho, the weekend went by super-fast with all the home improvement work going on! I took lots and lots of pictures, and can't wait to show you. But... you're going to have to wait! I need to get the pics off the camera AND we have finishing work to do on the room next weekend. Plus, it will be more dramatic to see the actual "After" pictures.

Happy Monday!

Today went so fast and tomorrow...school starts for us! EECK. I'm not ready...but then again, is anyone ever ready? There are college students everywhere in town...even across the street. We'll see how that goes this year:-( We are making progress on our project and can't wait to see yours. Up north next weekend or I'd think about coming to help you! Hey.....
